Ms. Bixby's Last Day.  This was quite the book.  I don't want to say too much except that it should be read, for sure.  I loved this book.  I know many teachers are one of the "good ones" and I know one who is the best of the "good ones."  And this book made me laugh and cry and I didn't really want to leave this book.  I can see it being helpful to kids who find themselves in situations similar to the boys in this book.  I see this as an inspiring book for teachers.  I see this as a really, really wonderful story.  Very real.  Very, very good.  I wonder if this is on anyone's Newbery list?  I plan to read more by John David Anderson, for sure.
